Application filed. December 10, 1894. Serial No. 581,337.

I To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEO EHRLICH, a citizen of the United States,residing at the city of ing is a description, reference being had to theaccompanying draw1ngs, formmg part of this specification.

. Like the machine shown and described in my prior patent No. 523,930,of July 31, 1894, mypresent machine is intended for use upon streetrailways and .other transportation lines where two or more classes offares are received, such as cash fares and transfers, cash fares andtickets, half fares and full fares, andso on, and to that end isprovided with means for preserving separate registrations of the severalclasses of fares. In some respects my present machine is similar to thatof my priorpatent, while in others it is a modification of-and adeparture from such rior machine. Like that machine it emodies a tripregister, upon which the total number of fares of all classes isregistered, and which is adapted to be reset to zero orinitial'po'sition at the end of each trip, and two or-more independentpermanent regis ters, (that is to say, registers which are not resetto-zero at the end of each trip,) upon which ermanent registers separateregistrations of the several classes of fares are made and preserved;with suitable operating means for actuating. the'trip register andeither one of the permanent re 'isters at will,,

to register the corresponding ass of fare.

In my prior machine the trip register consisted of the usual circulardial, with a pointer moving over the same, and means for actuating thepointer. The pointer was advanced one'number at each operation of themachine, no matter which class of fare was to be registered, so that allof the fares of all classes receivedduring a trip were added into onecommon total upon the trip register. The

latter therefore indicated simply the total humber of fares, and not thenumber of fares of. each class. l/Vhile, therefore, in that machine thepermanent regis'ters indicated at all times the total number of fares ofeach class received during a given period, as for instance a day or aweek, depending upon the intervals at which the readings were taken fromthem, it was not possible at any time by looking at the trip register toascertain how many of the fares registered upon it during the trip wereof one class and how many of another. ent invention is an improvement inthis respect upon my prior machine and consists in the provision of anovel and hereinafter described multiple trip register, or a tripregister which will indicate at all times the number of fares of eachclass received during the trip. Myinvention in this respect contemplatesvarious forms of multiple tripregisters, two of which have beenillustrated One feature of my presin the drawings and will behereinafter dscribed. In the first and preferred form the multipleregister consists of a plurality of pointers, representing differentclasses of.

fares, cooperating with a single dial such as that shown in my priorpatent. In the other form illustrated the multiple register consists ofa plurality of wheel registers geared to the main actuating wheels ofthe register.

Inasmuch as upon most transportation lines where fare registers areemployed but two classes of fares are received my improved trip registeris shown as consisting of a double register, employing in the oneinstance two pointers moving over the dial to indicate thereon the twodifferent classes of fares, and in the other two wheel registers for thesame purpose; while-two permanent registers are employed in eachinstance for preserving permanent registrations of such fares. v

Again, in my prior machine the permanent registers were geared to andactuated by the trip register, or by the operating device through themedium of the trip register, so that when it was desired to reset thetrip register, at the end: of a trip, it had to be first disconnectedfrom the permanent registers. This construction and this necessity arecommon to many fare registers of this class, as well as my own priormachine. In my resent machine the trip register is whol y disconnectedfrom the permanent registers, and while all three of the registers areactuated by thesame operating device they are actuated directly by itand not one through the medium of the other.

Again, in my prior machine the trip registor and the two permanentregisters were position, and to cause it to actuate at will eithr one ofthe permanent registers and the corresponding pointer of the tripregister a shifter is provided by which the operating lever may beconnected with and discon nected from either register at Wlll, dependingupon the class of fare to be registered. The

two cords or ropes by which the machine is operated, and which .usuallyextend along the upper part of the car within reach of the conductor ashe is collecting fares, are so connected to themach'ine that uponpulling one cord one permanent register and its corresponding pointer ofthe trip register will be' actuated, and upon pulling the other cord theother permanent register and -other pointer will be actuated. Theadjustment of the parts is preferably such that the operating lever isnormally connected with one register and pointer, so that by simply.operating said. lever such register and. pointer will be actuated toregister one class of fares, usually the commonest one or the one ofwhich the greatest number are received. When a fare of the other classis to be registered the shifter is operated to throw the operating leverinto connection with such other register and .pointer, so that upon thenmoving the lever the latter register and pointer will be actuated toregister the second class fare. To this end one of the operating cordsis connected to the lever alone, so that upon pulling said cord thelever will=be operated to actuate the r] is'ter with which it isnormally connected, w ile the other cord is connected to both the leverand shifter, or at least has such a connection with the shifter,

directly or indirectly, that upon pulling said cord the operating lever.will be thrown into connection with the second register and itsmovement caused to actuate it. This second operating cor'dmay be indeendently connected to the lever and'to t e shifter, but under thearrangement which I prefer and which has been illustrated in thedrawings the cord is connected to the lever through the medium of theshifter, or a art moving with the shifter, so that upon'pul ing the cordthe shifter will first be actuated to connect the lever with the secondregister and the lever itself be then moved to actuatesuch ble tripregister may be employed in a ma-.

,ser

chine, or in a register in which a single operating lever movable in onedirection to actuate one permanent register and in the other directionto actuate. the other permanent register is employed. So, too, thefeature of -and actuated independently of the trip register may beutilized in my priormachine and others, as well as in my resent one; as.may also the single operating ever, movable in one direction only, andthe shifter for connecting it at will with either one of the permanentregisters.

I My present machine like my prior one is *the' permanent registersdisconnected from fare indicator does, so that by glancing at the fareindicator the character of the last fare registered mayalsp beascertained- So, too, suchfare indicator may be utilized in connectionwith the two permanent registers, disconnected from and actuatedindependently of the trip register, as in my present machine, and asingle trip register such as that of my prior machine, to the sameadvantage as in such prior machine.

My present machine contains other novel and useful features, consistingof new constructions, arrangements and modes of operation ofparts, allof which will be hereinafter explained and particularly pointed out inthe claims. I

Having thus premised the general nature of my invention a detaileddescription will now be given of it in the form in whichit is embodiedin the machine illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,

The same letters of reference are used to indicate identical parts inall the figures.

The working parts of the register arcinclosed Within the usual circularcasing A and hidden by the numbered dial B of the tri register, Fig. 1,said dial being rovided Wit suitable reading openings for the permanentregisters, the trip indicator, and in this instance for the fareindicator.

Mounted upon a central post C fixed to the bottom plate D of the casing,Fig. 3, is a wheel E having an V extended hub F resting at its lower endupon and are remov'ably he a screw K tapped at its lower end into theupthe annular should er at the bottom of the re duced upper end of thepost 0 over which. it fits, and projecting at its upper end through thedial B. Loosely mounted upon the upper end of the hub of the wheel E isa second Wheel G having its hub H extending through the-dial B aroundthe hub F but not quite to the upper end of the latter.

Fast upon the upper end of the hub H is one pointer I of the tripregister, while the other pointer J of the same isfast upon the upperend of the hub F. The pointers fit over pins upon the'uj) )er ends ofthe hubs in place by means of per end of the post C having a flangedhead fitting against the upper pointer. The two pointers may bedistinguished from each other in any suitable manner, to indicate therespective classes of fares they are to register upon the dial. One maybe shorter than the other for that purpose, as the hour and minute handsof a clock, and if desired two separate sets of numbers may be placedupon the dial, one to cooperate with one pointer to register one classof fares, and the other to cooperate with the other pointer to regis terthe second class of fares; but I refer to have the ointers of aproximate y equal length and to make t rem of contrasting colors, andalso to place upon them words indicating the respective classes offares. In the present instance the upper pointer J registers the cashfares and the lower pointer I the tickets or transfers, as indicated bythe Word Cash upon the former and the word Ticket upon the latter in thedrawings,

and in the machine from which the drawings were preoared the upperpointer is painted black an the lower red, so that any one can tell at aglance the number of-fares of each class registered upon the dial. Eachof the wheelsE and G has formed upon its periphery a depending flangepro vided with gear teeth upon its lower edge, the fla'ngeof the wheel Efitting snugly within the flange of the wheel G, with their toothedlower edges in approximately, though in this instance not exactly, thesame horizontal plane. The wheels E G and their pointers areindependently actuated by a single pawl L, Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6,which is shifted at will into engagement with. the toothed flange of one'wheel or the other. The adjustment of the parts is preferably 'suchthat the pawl is normally engaged with, or stands in position toactuate, one of the wheels, so that it is necessary to shift it onlywhen the other wheel is to be actuated. In the present instance it isshown normally engaged with the teeth of the inner wheel E whose huhcarries the upper pointer J of the trip register. This is the pointerwhich indicates cash fares, and as it is assumed in the resent instancethat there will be more cash fhres received than transfers or ticketsthe pawl is shown insuch position in order that at the majority ofoperations of the machine it will not be necessary to shiftit. The pawlis pivoted between ears M projecting verti cally from a plate l Figs. 2to 6, mounted to slide transversely in guide-ways upon the upper frontend of areciprocating frameO secured upon the base plate D by screws Ppassing through slots in its horizontal feet whiclnrcst 'upon the plate.Mounted upon the upper side of the frame 0 and connected therewith byscrewspassing through slots in the frame is a sliding plate Q, Figs. 2,4, and

5, this connection of it with the frame 0 permitting it to reciprocateto a limited extent independently of the frameO, for a purpose hereafterdescribed, and when moved be .yond such limit to carry the frame 0 withit.

Extending diametrically across the ma chine adjacent to the base plate Dis a rock shaft R jo'urnaled at its opposite ends in bearings upon saidbase plate and passing at its middle through a hole in the central postC. Fast upon this roclr shaft immediately at the left of the frame 0 isan upwardly ex tending arm or block S Figs. 2, 4, 5 and 6. A link Tconnects the arm S with the under Side of thepperating lever U, saidlink having at its front end an eye fitting over a hook upon the arm Sand at its rear end a second eye through which passes a screw enteringthe under side of the lever U. This lever is fulcrumed at V upon theupper end of a post,

secured upon the base plate I), so that the the front end of alever Cwhose rear end is frame 0 and When the outer end of 'the lever is pulledI downward the shaft. It-and block S will be rocked rearward. Projectingfrom the right but during the latter art ofits movement the slide willcarry the frame 0 with it, as before explained, and cause the pawl toturn the wheel E. In this manner and by this means at each operation ofthe lever U the wheel E ill be actuatedby the pawlQL and the pointer Jadvanced one number upon the dial B to register one cash fare. The meansfor shifting the pawl and actuating the Wheel G to advance the pointerI, .to register transfer or ticket fares, maybe now described.

The rock sh aft R is capable of limited longitudinal movement in itsbearings and is yieldingly held in its right hand normal position by aspring Z coiled around it and confined between its left hand bearing anda collar A fast upon said shaft, Fig. 4. The arm S which is fast uponthe rock-shaft It as before described has secured to it a forwardlyprojectin segmental late Z which fits in a vertical s ot in the lefthandend of the slid plate N which carries the pawl L, as hereto oredescribed. When the machine is operated to actuate the wheel E and cashfare pointer the plate Z plays idly up and down in the slot in the plateN, the receding curve of its lower forward edge permitting the rearwardmovement of said plate as the plateZ rises; but when the shaft is movedto the left, by the means hereafter explained, the en .wil cause theshaft to carry. the platean'd actuating awl with it, and bring them tothe position s own in Fig. 4, with the pawle'ngaged with, or in.position to actuate the outer wheel G and pointer I. The connectionofthe block S and the link X by -means of the pin W free to slide in thehole' in the link X permits this movement of the shaft R and connectedparts withoutaii'ecting the sliding plate Q.

Pivotedat B tothe base plate D, Fig. 2, is

,bent upward over the shaft R and collar-. A

and carries a pinfitting in acircumferential.

groove in said collar. ,The vertically extended rear end of this levercarries an anti friction sleeve D' which rests against a long curvedlever E pivoted at its front end to the under side of the operatinglever Uat F,

Figs. ,2and4, and'at its opposite end extendement of the plate Z withthe plate-N the circular wall of tliecasing and provided H in the outerend'of the lever U; and, having secured to it .-a U-shaped' clip --orattaching piece H for an operating cord I, the.opposite arms of thepiece H embracing the lever and being secured to the opposite end of thein G. whi e the cord 1 is pulled the travel 'of'the pin the left and itwill carry the rear end of the lever C with it and shift the parts tothe poparts in this position, the outer end of the lever -U be .pulleddownward to. its limit of movement the shaft R will be rocked and thepawtL caused to actuate the wheel Grand advance the pointer I toregister one ,ticket sition by a strong spring .J, Figs. 2 anThis-spring is strong enough tension of the sprin Z and friction of theparts when the lever is moved, so that the lever U will remainstationary until the pin "G of the lever E travels the length of the camslot H and contacts with its lower end, after which the further pullupon the cord I will move the lever U with the lever E and cause thepawl L to actuate the wheel G. In this manner and by this means theparts may be shifted and the pawl actuated by simply pulling the cord Ithe lever Ebeing thereby first given its movement inde endpawl, and thetwo levers then moving to gether to actuate it. j a

For thepurpose" of preventing movement of the operating lever U exceptwhen the pawl L is in proper position to actuate one or the'other of thetwo wheels there is provided a stop lever K which is pivoted to theunder side of the lever U at L and cooperates at its opposite end with astop M roject g lupward fi om thebase plate; T e lever of .the shifteris provided with a pin N which passes through a slot in the lever K. Theadjustment of the parts is such thatwhenthe lever E a in the positionshown in Fig. 2 the lower end of the iever K willrest' immediately tothe right ofthe line ofthe. stop M so that it willclear thesto when theouterend of the level. U is pulled the leverE' is givenfits fullmovementto the left, as in Fig. 4, the lower end of the lever K the stoplM sothat it will clear the same and I left band edge of the lever K iscurved in the ing with the lever through the opening in I G in the camslot Hwvill pull the lever E to or transfer upon the dial. The lever'Uis. yieldingly held in and returned to normal dpo-- with a pin Gextending through a' cam slot If the lever U be held stationary 1sition. shown in Fig. 4/ If now, with the to overcome the 'ently of thelever U, to properly s the ownward, and when will rest-immediatelyto theleft of the line of d upon the lefthand side of the are of a circleconcentric to the pivot V of the lever U when the lever K is. 1n normalpositlon, Fig. 2, and the right hand edge of the lever is curved in theare of a circle' concelnthat during the movement of the lever U the pawlwill be maintained in engagement with one or the otherof thetoothedwheels, depending upon the position of the lever E before thelever U began its movement. In this manner and by this means operationof the pawl except when in proper position to actuate one or the otherof the wheels is prevented, and when its actuating movement is oncebegun it is-held in position.

} The sliding plate Q, which is mounted upon the frame 0, as heretoforedescribed, carries a hook pawl O which actuates the striker arm P of agong Q, Fig. 2. Thepawl O is yieldingly held in normal position againstthe lug Y, Fig. 4:, by a coiled spring interposed between its front endof a second i u post t lug similar to the lug Y upon the plate Q infront of the pivot of the pawl. The striker arm P is pivoted upon theupper end of 9.

Q is slid rearward by pulling downward the Y upper end of the operatinglever U the hook of the pawl will catchover the lug V, and when theparts return to normal position the pawl will pull the lug forward withit from the gong against the tension of the spring T, until the hook ofthe pawl slips off t 1e lug V, whereupon the spring will throw thestriker arm and connected parts quickly back to normal posit-ion andcause the striker The purpose of prov1d-.

to sound the gong.

ing for the movement of the slide Q independent of the frame 0, as hasbeen heretofore referred to, is to permit the necessary movement of theactuating pawl O of the gong-striker without unnecessary movement of theframe 0 which carries the actuating pawl L of the trip register, therequired movement of the latter pawl being less than that of the pawl O.

Having now described one form of my novel trip register and the meansfor actuating the samc, willnext describethe two permanent registerswhich are independently actuated by the operating lever to separatelyand yieldingly held in normal posi- I tron, against a'stop S, by aspring T coiled Y lug M with a similar lug N and turn the hub U andretract the striker register the fares of the two different classesindicated by the pointers of the trip register. Each register consistsof a train of registering wheels and a cooperating train of transfergears by which the revolution of each wheel in the train is caused toadvance the next higher wheel one number, in the usual or any suitablemanner. In the present instance the wheels W of the cash fare registerare mounted upon a shaft X supported at its opposite ends in the sideplates of a frame Y fixed to the base plate 1), Figs. 2, 7 and 8. Theright hand or primary registering wheel in the train is secured upon theleft hand end of a sleeve A loose upon the shaft X and having fast uponits right hand end, just within the right hand side plate of the frameY, a ratchet B with which cooperates the actuating pawl of the register.This pawl is carried by a reciprocating slide D mounted in guide-ways inthe frame Y and yieldingly held in its normal forward position by aspring interposed between its laterally projecting front end and thefront side of the frame Y, Fig. 2.

- The registering .wheels of the ticket or transfer register F aremounted upon a shaft G Figs. 7 and 8, fixed in the frame Y, and theprimary wheel of the train has fast upon the right hand end of itsprojecting hub a ratchet with which cooperates an actuating pawl Icarried by a second slideJ Figs. 2 and 7, also mounted in guide-ways inthe frame Y and held in normal position by a spring interposed betweenits front end and the front side of said frame. Holding pawls K L"spring-pressed against the ratchets B l I prevent backward movement ofthe registering wheels.

The shde 1) 18 provided upon its nmer side immediatel over the rockshaft R with a lug M while the slide J is provided rearward and its pawlC caused to turn the j ratchet B and advance the primary wheel of thecash fare register W one number. At such movement of the parts the lefthand end of the head of the arm 0 will clear the lug l to N of the slideJ and the latter will remain at rest and the ticket or transfer re isterF will not be actuated; but when tire rock shaft R is slid to its lefthand position by means of the shifter heretofore described, the lefthand end of the head of the arm Q will be brought into line withthelug-N of the slide 1?, so that when the shattR and arm .are thenrocked rearward the arm will contact with the lug M. and carry the slideJ 5 with it and cause the pawl l to turn the ratchet H and advance theprimary wheel of the ticket fare register F one number. In this mannerand by this means whenever the lever U is operated by pulling thecordl-l the cash fare register VVwill be actuated to permanentlyregister one cash fare; and when the shifter and lover are bothoperated, by pulling the cord 1, the ticketfare register F will beactuated to register one ticket fare or transfer. r

l-Vhilc'l prelcrto actuate the two pointers of the trip register and thetwo permanent registers by means of" a single operating lever andshifter, yet, as lieietoforc stated, the two operating cords of theregister .rnight be independently connected with the respective pointersof the trip rcgisterand corresponding permanent registers, so that uponpulling one cord or the other the same ultimate result would be producedas under the construction which I have shown and described; or, ifdesired, instead of a single operating lever and a shifter, movable inonc'dire(.'.tion only from normal position, a single operating levermovable in one direction to register one class offal-es and in theopposite direction to register the other class of fares, with suitableconnections, might be employed to actuate the two pointersof the tripregister and the 35 two permanent registers of my present machine,-aswill be understo'od from my prior patent; both of these arrangementsbeing within the contemplation of my broader claims in the present case.L

the slides D J which carry the actuating awls; of the permanentregisters. This are-indicator, as in my prior machine, con

sists of an oscillatory cylinderl? secured upon a shaft Q mounted in suports R upon-the base plate, Figs. 2., an Fast upon the right hand end;of the shaft Q is a disk S having projecting from it two pins T U, the"former stahding in' the path of an arm V? projecting upward from therear end of the s ide D and the lattcr inuthe path of a shorter. arm Vithe rearend of the s ideJ Fig rejecting upward from 1; Eli When theslldc J is moved =rearward, to actuate th'etic-ketfare register inthemanner before explained, the arm. Vt? upon ts regar v end willcontactqwith the pin -,U arid,

end of the slide will contact w t rum pi'ii T and turn the cylinder Prearward to expose The fare-indicator, under. the arrangc- "ment shownin the drawings','is actuated by jbe utilized to advantage even in theabsence ,of the latter.'

. th diet. as shownm the drawings, wh leggwhen the,

tion applied to it in any suitable or convenient manner, in the presentinstance by a spring (not shown) interposed between one end of thecylinder and its support R so that the" cylinder will always remain,atthc end' of an operation of the machine, in the position to which ithad been moved, and thus continue to indicate the character of the farewhich has been registered at such operation until the 1nachine.is againoper ated to register another fare. If the next fare should be of thesame chaiactcr, the fare indicator will remainstationary, but it itshould be of a different character, the fare indicator will be shiftedto expose the sign representing such class. From the above descriptionit will be understood that by the employment of such fare indicator inconnection with my novel trip register the register will at all timesindicate not only the number of the fares of each class received duringthe trip, but will also indicate the character of the lastfare-registered, so thatif any one watching the register for the purposeof ascertaining whether the conductor is properly registering the faresreceived should fail to .note which one of the two pointers was moved at-a given operation the fare indicator will furnish the information,since if the cash pointer was the last one moved the fare indicator willexpose the word Cash, while if the ticket pointer was the last one movedthe indicator will expose the word Ticket. It will be understood thatthis combination of the fareindicator with a multiple trip register is auseful one mdepeinlcntly of the employment of the permanent registers,and may shaft thereof, so that beforethc trip register could 'be resetit had to be'disconnccted fr m the permanent registers or from theactuatiiigsliaft,'a1ul this wasaccomplished by sl ding the toothedwhccl'vertically upon itspivot. From theforegoing description of nyprcsent 'machine it will be seen that,. while the trip register and thetwo permanent registers are actuated by the same operating lever, theyare independently actuated' and are wholly disconnected from each other,so that the trip register is free at all tim to be reset to initialposition. Instead singleinwardly andoutwardly sliding iese mg shaft, as11 my prior machine, and as is usual, there are employed in my presentThe shaft is mounted to slide and rotate at its rear end in a bearing ina bracket plate Z secured toand pro ecting upv'ard from the base plateI), while it and the sleeve surrounding it' are supported near theirfront ends in a bearing E cast upon the base plate l) adjacent theopening in the casing through V which the sleeve and shaft pass. Thesleeve Y has screwed upon its front end a milled thumb-piece A by whichit may be turned,

while secured upon the front end of the shaft s X is a secondthumb-piece B for turning the shaft. Fast upon the shaft near its rearend is a gear wheel C, while fast upon the rear end of the sleeve,immediately in front of the gear (9 is a second gear wheel D The sleeveY is'thus held from longitudinal movement upon the shaft X by the gear Cfitting against its rear end and the thumbpiece B fitting against thethumb-piece A- upon its front end, while remaining free to turn upon theshaft. The two gears C D are adapted to cooperate respectively with thegear-toothed flanges of the wheels E and G of the. trip register. Whenthe shaft and the sleeve Y are slid inward the gear C will be broughtinto mesh with the gear of the gear wheel E and the gear D into meshwith the gear of the wl-icel G, so that by turning either thumb-piece AB the corresponding wheel G'or E may be turned to carry its pointerbackward to zero.

Mounted to move longitudinally with the shaft X and sleeve Y is a frameE Fi r 3-, 9 and 10, composed of a front and rear plate, through theformer of which the shaft and sleeve )ass, and through the latter ofwhich the siaft alone passes, and between which the gears C D areconfined, l ig. 9, and a portion uniting said plates at their left handends and having a horizontal extension F projecting to the left. Astrong coiled spring, i connected-at its rear end to the frame E and atits front end to a fixed point pulls said frame and the shaft X and thesleeve Y forward, and yieldingly holds them in their outer normalpositions with the gears D disengaged from wheels E and G. Upon theupper side of the front plate of the frame E is a lug H which cooperateswith two latch plates 1 J", Figs. 2, 3, 9 and 10. These two plates arepivoted at their front ends at the same ioint, K

late .I lies directly over the plate J and hides the lat In therectangular por-,

and in front of the plate E the p ter in Figs. 2 and 9. tion of eachplate near its rear end is a slot 113 in the front end of which the lugH of the.

frame E fits when said frame and the resett1)!" shaft and sleeve are intheir outer normal position, as seen in Fig. 2.

The two latch plates are pulled toward the left by two springs M, Fig.S). and the right hand side wall of the slot L in each of them has anoffset in it near its rear end, forming a shoulder at N adapted tocooperate with the lug ll upon the frame E. The result of thisarrangcnient is that when the shaft and sleeve and frame. E are pressedinward until the lug II has moved to the rear'of the shoulders N 01 thelatch plates, the springs M will pull said plates to their left andcarry the shoulders in front ofthe lug, so that the shaft and sleeveandframe will be latched in their lllward position and held against thestress of the spring C? until the latch plates are tripped and. theshoulders disengaged from the lug ll.

The rear end of the plate I. has. a right hand upwardly projectingextension termi-' nating in ahorizontal projection 0 adapted tocooperate with a plate P pivoted in a horizontal slot in the wheel G,Fig. 2 and having its right hand end pressed outward by a spring intoposition to contact with the abrupt left sideof the projection O of thelatch plate I when the wheel G has been turned backward untilits'pointer I is brought to initial position. When the wheel and pointerreach said position the projecting end of the plate I will strike theprojection O of the latch plate I and move the rear end of the latter tothe right to normal posi tion and disengage its shoulder N from the" malposition and disengage its shoulder N from the lug H of the frame E Whenthe shoulders of both latch plates have been disengaged from the lug Hof the frame E in the manner above explained, the frame and therescttingshaft and sleeve will thereby be entirely released, and-thespring G will at encoreset them totheir outer-normal posi-' tion'. Untilbo'th pointers of the trip regis ter have been reset to zero the lug Hwill remain engaged with the shoulder N of one or the otherof' the latchplates, so thatnot until both pointers have been reset will the parts.beirele'ased and the spring G? be permitted to restore, them to normalposition. So long as thejpointers remain at zero the engagement of thetri s P R with the latch plates will hold the atter ini'ioral'plosition, so that if the resetting shaft and sleeve be pressed.inward at such time the lug H upon the frame E" Will not be caughtbytlifeghoulders N of such pointer has been reset to zero.

the l'atchplates, and the spring G will re:

turn the parts to normal position assoon as the pressure" upon them isremoved. When either pointer is moved from normal ,posi

tion, however, the trip u on the wheel which carries such pointer w1l bemoved "away from its 006 crating projection upon the cor: respondingatch plate and the latter will be left free to be engagedwith the lug Hwhenever the'resettingshaft and sleeve are pressed inward, so that eventhough-only one pointer has been operatedthe resetting devices will becaught and held in resetting position by the corresponding latch platewhen they are pressed inward, and will not be released until when bothpointers have been operated the resetting of one of them alone to zerowill not release the resetting devices, which will still 'be maintainedin resetting position until the other pointer also is turned backward tozero.

The purpose of providing the springprcssed or ielding trips P R,-instead of simply emp oying rigid projections upon the wheels to tripthe latch plates, is to permit the tri s to yield and clear theprojections upon tie latch plates as thepointers and wheels are moved ina forward direction, in

case the number of either class of fares rer ceived during a trip shouldeirceed the total number which the trip register is capable ofregistering, and the corresponding pointer be consequently given morethan one com lete revolution. Such a contingency is, 10wever, quite.remote, since itis in rare in-v stances that more than one hundred faresof a given class are collected from one car during a single trip, and,in any event, all of the fares would be registered-upon the permanentregisters.

The'front plate of the frameE has projecting from its right hand end-arod S,

- which, when the parts are slid inward to fo "the paw ls and the latterare reengaged by ,thelr springs (not shown) withthe wheels E and G. Theactuating pawl L will also be I disengaged from the wheel E when theresetting devices are moved to resetting posi-' tion by means of therear edge of theframe E, which willride under. the front end .ofsaidpawl and depress its rear end against the resistance of its spring,which latter will reengage the pawl with the wheel Ewhen the resettingdevices return to normal position.

The left hand extension of the frame E is S6, too,

provided with a cam slot V through which passes ascrew carried by alocking-lever X pivoted at Y to a post"upon the base plate ofthe-machine and adapted to co.-

operate at itsleft handend with the lower or forward end of theoperating lever U, Fig. 2. in the normal position of the parts the endof the lever X is out of thepath of the lever Ll, but when the resettingdevices are SllCl inward to resetting position the cam slot V actingupon the screw will rock the lever X to the position 'shown,in Fig. 9,bringing its left end directly in the path of the lever -U, so that solong as the resetting devices are in such position the lGVOF'Wlll belocked from operation. Likewise, when the resetting devices are innormal position any' operating'inovement of the lever U will carry. itslower end into the path of .the lever X 'so that only when theoperatinglever U is in normal posltion can the resetting device's beoperated. l

For the purpose of preventing backward movement of thercsctting shaftand sleeve there is provided a pawl Z, Figs. 2, 9, and

-10, pivoted at its lower end between the front and rear plates .of theframe E and spring pressed at its upper end intoengagement with thegears C D. For the further purpose-of positively locking the resettingshaft and sleeve when in their outer normal position, and preventingmovement of them in either direction until slid inward to resettingposition, there is pivoted near its middle upon the upper side of'theextension F of the frame a locking plate or lever A", whose right handend normally fits against a shoulder-uponthe u iper left hand side ofthe pawl Z, Fig-2, an positively locks the lat-.

ter in engagement with the gears C D.

The left hand end of this plate A is provided with a slot through whichpasses the screw W before referred to. When the. resetting devices arepressed inward the movement of said screw and the plate A relatively toeach other will throw the righthand end of said plate rearward to theposition shown in Fig. 9, thereby disengaging it from the pawl Z andpermitting the latter to yield and slip over the teeth of the gears asthe latter are turned forward to reset the trip register. It will beunderstood that the shape of thepawl is such that'its engagement withthe gears Wlll at all tnnes prevent backward movement of them, but Wlllprevent forward movement of them only when locked in engagement withthem by the plate A.

My present machine is shown provided prior machine and operated in asimilar manner by the resettings of the trip register, to-wit, by a pawlarm C carried by the frame E and cooperating with a ratchet upon theleft hand end of the indicator to shift the latter at'each resetting ofthe trip register in ion , with a trip indicator 13* similar to that ofmy which will be understoo explanation here.

the manner described in In prior patent and (f without further So far asI am aware I am the first in the art to employ a multiple trip registerof any sort whatever for indicating in a fare register the numberoffares of different classes received during a trip, and, asbefore'stated,

' scribed.

. multiple trip register, either alone this feature of my inventioncontemplates, in its broader scope, various different forms of multipletrip registers for the urpose de Where I have claimed broadly a mincombinatlon with other elements of the complete fare register, suchclaim contemplates the use of any form of multiple trip register bywhich the numbers of fares of different classes received during the tripmay be indicated.

Having heretofore described in detail the preferred form of multipletrip-register which employ, to-wit, a lurality of pointers cooperatingWith a dia I will now add a brief description of the second form of suchregister whichhas been illustrated in the drawings forposure 'of thefare indicator, an opening at for the exposure of the permanentcash-fare register, another at 4 for the oermanent ticket-fare register,and one at 5 or the trip indicator; near its left hand side the plate isprovided with two openings, or pairs ofopenings, 6, 7, for the exposureof the numbers upon the wheels of the trip reg ster, which in thisinstance take' the place of the plurality of pointers employed in theother orm of registerv With the exception of the trip register theconstruction and mode of operation of the fare register as a whole are,or may be, the same as heretofore described, and hence will not befurther referred to. Journalcd in hearings in the upper ends of supports8 9 upon the base plate D of the machine Fi 14 is a transverse shaft 10Gii whose right-hand half or portion is of reduced diameter as comparedwith its left-hand portion and has mounted upon it a sleevell which isfree to turn u on it. The shaft has fast upon its right han end a pinion12 which meshes with the gear teeth upon the depending flange of thewheel F, while the sleeve 11 has'fast upon its right hand end a pinion13 f meshing with the toothed flange of the wheel G. Confined u on thesleeve 11 between the supportat the right and a collar 14 fast upon thesleeve at the left are two numbered wheels 15 16, the former fast uponthe sleeve and the latter loose upon it. Each wheel bears a series ofnumbers representing the nine digits, and a cipher, and the pinion 13 isso p ro ortioned relatively to the wheel G that at eac 1 advance of saidwheel the space of one tooth the sleeve 11 and wheel 15 will be turnedone tenth of a revolution, to add one ticket-fare upon the'wheel 15;while at each complete revolution of the latter wheel the wheel 16, bymeans of a pinion 17 cooperating in the usual manner with the twowheels, Fig. 12, will be advanced one number to register the completerevolution of the wheel 15. middle is a wheel 18, similar to the wheels15 16, while loose upon the shaft and confined between the wheel 18 andleft hand support of the shaft is a second similar wheel 19. At eachmovement of the wheel F the space of one tooth the wheel 18 will beadvanced one number, to register one cash fare, at each completerevolution it will, by means of transfer devices similar to thosebetween the wheels 15 16, advance the wheel 19 one number.

Under the construction above described it will be seen that the wheelsof the ticket-fare trip register are permanently geared to the wheel G,while the wheels of the cash-farc trip register are geared to the wheelsF, so that when the wheels F are reset to initial position the wheelsofthe two trip registers will be thereby turned backward to zero.

It will be evident from the illustration and description .of two suchwidely differing forms of multiple trip registers, that still there areforms of such registers which may be employed in place of the ones whichI have shown and described. Thus, an obvious substitute for the twopointers and dial would be two rotary dials carried-by the respectivewheels which in the present instance carry the pointers, the numbersupon said dials cooperating with fixed )ointers or with sight-openingsin the face plate of the register.
